EDWARD WIEDERKEHR, 0F TAYLOR, TEXAS.

To aZZ 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD VIEDERKEHR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Taylor, in the county of l/Villiamson and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Razor-Handle; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful razor handle.

In the ordinary handle the keen edge of the razor is apt to be blunted by contact with the handle.

The object of the invention is to provide a razor handle of this class having rubber pads, or members, arranged on each side of the handle, so that the resiliency of the rubber will lock the blade in engagement with the handle, and thus prevent the blade from opening accidentally, and thereby preventing injuries, and other accidents, that so frequently result from handling` a razor.

Vith these, and other objects, in view, the invention consists in a novel In the drawings: Figure l is a view in side elevation of a razor, showing the blade part-ly opened. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the razor with the blade closed but with a part thereof broken off. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the razor showing the blade closed. ig. lis a transverse sectional view on line 4 4 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, l and 2 designate the two sides of an ordinary razor handle. Each of these sides is provided with a longitudinal recess in which is inserted a rubber pad 3, which is provided with a longitudinal flanged port-ion 4, which serves to prevent the displacement of the pad. These longitudinally flanged portions t constitute means for preventing the razor blade from being nicked when the blade is being closed, that is, if the cutting edge of the blade accidentally happens to contact with the rubber pads. The ends of the pad 3, arc engaged by rejections 5, formed integrally with the andle. These pads are cemented to the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 5, 1910.

Patented Apr. 4, 1911. seriai No. 590,936.

razor handle, and when the blade 6, is inserted in the handle in the closed position, it will readily be seen that the rubber pads 3, engage each side of the blade and prevent the same from becoming accidentally displaced, and also prevents the edge of the razor from engaging either side of the handle, whereby the same would become blunted.

It will be seen that my invention is simple, inexpensive, and durable, and that it will greatly prolong the services of a razor, and that it will prevent the edge from contacting with the handle, and the likelihood of anyone being cut with the razor is reduced to the minimum.

Having thus described the claim is l. A razor including a blade anda handle, the two side portions of the handle having elongated recesses in their adjacent faces; and yieldable frictional rubber members having` portions arranged in the recesses and provided with flanged portions extending over the top portions of the side portions of the handle, thus constituting means for exerting a binding action upon the opposite invention, what I faces of the blade, the flanges act-ing as buffers for the cutting edge of the blade in case of accidental contact therewith.

2. A razor including a blade and a handle, the two side portions of the handle having elongated recesses in their adjacent faces, and provided with recesses upon one of their edge portions, the last named recesses corresponding in length to the first recesses and adjoining thereto; 'and yieldable frictional rubber members having flanges and arranged in the rst recesses, with the flanges seated in the last named recesses, thus constituting means for exerting a binding action upon the opposite faces of the blade, the flanges acting as buffers for the cutting edge of the blade in case of accidental contact therewith.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
